Exciting research ideas for safe road traffic with children

knowledge brings security: five research ideas that help children better understand road traffic

The summer vacation slowly approaches and that means that more children will soon be on the streets again. Security on the way to the daycare or school is therefore an important topic. In order to help the children to move more safely on the road, the children have developed five great ideas that ensure an exciting journey of discovery in daycare and primary school age.

1. How much traffic has space on the street?

There are many different ways to get to the daycare or school - by car, bike, bus or on foot. But do all road users have enough space on the street and the sidewalk? Let the children watch the traffic and find out together.

2. On the wheels, ready, go!

children move on different ways every day, be it on foot, by bike, scooter, impeller or skateboard. But which means of transportation is most efficient? Go on test drives with the children and find out together.

3. Computer science meets route planning: The optimal circular route

When you visit a zoo, we would like to see all the animals, but still don't run unnecessarily wide. This question of the optimal circular route is also of great importance in computer science. Explore together with the children how computer scientists: Develop quick procedures for route planning inside and search for the optimal way.

4. Pictograms: A picture says more than 1,000 words

pictograms are easy to understand, because they convey information without having to read them. Go on a discovery tour with the children and jointly research the pictograms in road traffic, in public transport and buildings. What do the symbols and signs mean?

5. Free track for everyone: overcome barriers

Not all people can easily move in road traffic. Which barriers arise when people cannot move, see or hear well? And how can these obstacles be overcome? Start an attempt and work with the children together.

It is important that children understand road traffic and that they learn to move safely in it. With these five research ideas you can experience more about it in a playful and exciting way and at the same time acquire important knowledge and skills on the subject of traffic safety.

so what are you waiting for? Make yourself the fastest discovery trip of the year!
